I cannot believe that you are six months old! My time with you as a little baby is going by far too quickly. I realized the other day, that at six months, you are practically half way done being a baby, and that makes me a little sad.
You are growing so quickly. This month you weighed 16lbs 14oz (75%) and measured 26" long (50-75%).
You have all kinds of new talents. You can sit by yourself (although I have to watch you carefully because you are still likely to tip). You can roll really well from your tummy to your back. You haven't figured out how to roll the other way yet, but I think you are really close. You recently sprouted your first two little teeth, and they are sooo cute! They are also razor sharp. I know this because you LOVE to chew on things (including my fingers!).
You still love being outside and going for walks. Recently, we have been running a lot; you are very interested for the first half of the run, but by the time we make it home you are often sound asleep. You have really started to take interest in whatever your Dad and I are using--I think that your favorite toy right now might be my blue water bottle. You squeal with delight whenever your Daddy walks into the room. I think he might be your favorite person in the world. You also have started eating solid foods. You LOVE sweet potatoes and butternut squash. You also love putting your fingers into your mouth after every bite, and then smearing the food that you find all over your chair and yourself. Sometimes when I am holding you, you grab my face and give me sweet, slobbery kisses. Every kiss warms my heart. Sometimes I still rock you to sleep. I know I am probably spoiling you, but I just don't want to miss a single minute that I can spend holding my little sleeping angel. You coo and squeal and babble all day long. Sometimes when you are sad, if I just sing to you, then you are happy. The joke still lingers in our ward that you are the baby that never cries. When I am feeding you, your free hand wanders all over. You grab my nose, my lips, my chin, my shirt, my glasses (and you leave your dirty little finger prints). The finger prints make me smile.
I am having so much fun being your mother. Thanks for being my little angel baby.
Love,
Your Mommy
